WHY NIGERIANS PREFER TO GIVE BIRTH ABROAD – DAVIDO
Musician Davido has revealed what he thinks is the driving force behind Nigerians looking to give birth overseas.
Nigerians from the elite and middle classes are increasingly giving birth to their children overseas.
Davido asserted in a recent episode of The Morning Hustle podcast that giving birth overseas is similar to purchasing insurance.
He claimed that, among other things, children born overseas have access to opportunities, foreign citizenship, high-quality education, and health care.
“Giving birth abroad is a common trend among Nigerians. Apart from having better [medical] facilities overseas, people want to have their kids abroad to save them the hassle of applying for visas,” he said.
